I dont think cryptsy is a scam at all, just needs a little attention brought to it.

but they were informed and this dont interest them at all ?!?! but we will see - if they dont react the second and third time - we HAVE TO CALL them a scam

They're fixing it. I have that direct from some of the staff. They apparently had a misunderstanding as to how rare the coin actually is. I believe the fee has already been fixed, and they are determining what minimum withdrawal will be. I recommended .01.

You're all probably being taken in a ponzi scam. Just because you get a small amount of btc back doesn't mean this service is legitimate.

No pics of mining equipment, no audits, no transparency, and they mix payouts to hide the fact there's no coinbase reward from the blockchain.  The only reason why is because the person who bought in front if you is paying for your payout.

Do your research. Pbmining even tells you to calculate your own return on investment, which you likely will never get. Your gh/s will be worthless in a year, much less 5 years.

There's a new one every two weeks. It's as regular as clockwork.

This has been done to death. If you believe them a scam, so be it. I've done my due dilligence, and as far as I am able to tell, they are not a scam at all. It is somewhat troubling that they don't choose to reveal themselves more fully, but it did cause them trouble in the past. I think they will eventually be public, but right now they want their privacy. They've never done me wrong, and they have long since been profitable for me.

one word to cryptsy - crispy or so

i made about 100 btc last month there - they HAVE to Change their withdrawal politics - sync is a growing and proud community we dont Need to be fooled

enough is enough - dont withdraw your sync amount BUT dont buy anything there - its still not the only Exchange there

bomb themwith emails - especially the great buyers - if they dont want to Change it and the tx isnt that high as they try to explain us - they wont get a single coin from us and others

are we in middleage where every small Gnome could cheat the one without swords ?

WE ARE THE ONE THAT MADE THEM - if they have no volume they can go home..

I have direct contact with some of their employees. I've alerted them to their error. We'll see where it goes.

My wallet still does not work, wrote to dev weeks ago, he never answered. All my coins are gone, even coins that I've bought on Bittrex!

....

Coin was overtaken, I did not know. As I never received any message regarding my issue. New coin owners, are my coins lost?

probably not,  download the new wallet and blockchain, then type repairwallet in  the console, may take a few hours to sync up to date.  After you type repair wallet in the console you will probably need to restart the wallet.  Don't for get to save and move your original wallet.dat file

It seems like you did not look at the links I've posted, repairwallet does not work, I tried also other, more complicated ways and all suggestions. My conclusion is that the wallet can't be repaired, but everybody tells me "No, your coins are not lost". Even Bittrex support told me that, pointing to contact the dev, which never replied and dumped his coin. My issue is not new, edn247 tried to help, but it did not work.

I don't currently have this wallet. However, I think I can help you, as I had a similar issue with sync and recovered my coins. Unfortunately, not ALL wallets have this feature, so you'll have to look. There's another way if it don't work. I would do this in PM, but I think it might help others with the same issue.

Both of these method make the assumption that your client loads. If it's crashing on launch, I'm not sure what to do. I had that issue with maxcoin, and ended up losing the coins. (well, I still have the wallet.dat file, but I can't at this time recover it). In this post I'm only detailing the easier of the two. If necessary, I'll revisit it.

Preferred method. Dumpwallet.

(note, I'm putting this up for you AND for general consumption, so if the detail seems excessive, just bear in mind that others might not have the same level of knowledge).

click on help. click on debug window.

In the debug window, click on console. In console, type help and press enter. This will bring up a list of all available commands. You're looking for two. Dumpwallet and importwallet. Note the capitalization, especially if you're running linux.

Now for the fun stuff. Assuming the dumpwallet command exists, type "dumpwallet <filename>"  The filename is anything you choose, and it's a plain text file when it dumps.

Now, save your existing wallet.dat somewhere, and the dumped wallet file, and completely delete your data directory. In windows that will be in user\yourusername\appdata\roaming\techcoin. In linux, it will be /home/user/.techoin. Again, before deletion make SURE you have saved your wallet.dat file, and it's a good idea to keep your configuration file as well, though at this point in the game you might want to rewrite it with only known good nodes.

Now. If you don't have the newest wallet, get it. make sure you have th config as you want it, and launch it. As soon as it's up, again go to the console as in the first step. This time type importwallet <filename> using the filename you had dumped (make sure of the proper path). It will import all of your private keys and blockchain transaction as the new wallet syncs.

This worked on a wallet that just would not be repaired for me in SYNC. Got everything back, just had to wait for the chain to sync.

If tech coin don't have the dumpwallet function, all is not lost. But this is a bit more time consuming and tedious.

I don't feel like detailing that right now, but if someone informs me that tech coin don't have the dumpwallet function, I'll type that up to. I have manually recovered all of the private keys in a wallet before, but I have to look up some commands to type it up properly.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

It does have dumpwallet, and it worked for me, but my wallet file is fine.  You can also download a copy of the blockchain up to block 5072 from the github link in the OP so that syncing is not an issue, I know there is a problem with so many 1.0.0.0 clients running on the chain stuck at block 5000 makes it hard to sync up at first.

It worked for me with SYNC on a wallet file that kept throwing database errors and would not sync. Nothing else did, including salvagewallet. It's a good feature. I'm now using it to back up wallets that are fine, just in case Cheesy

It seems I have miscalculated my staking. Two in a row Cheesy

Not a problem with the wallet, I just made a mistake in coin control. But at any rate, now that I've hit the zone where I should be staking for a few days straight, it is is working perfectly. Good job boys!

I'll have a hundred or so coins for the bounty fund in a few days. All of these stakes are on 200 or less coins, which tells me that small amounts work ok Cheesy

EDIT: Surprisingly, so far no orphans. That's a bit of a shock to me, actually. Every other coin I've staked at low numbers has first generated an orphan or two.

I'm going to risk insult here, but I think I'm right. English is not your native tongue, correct? Perhaps you could put together a bulleted list with all the features you have in mind, either here or in PM, and I could write it out in a more presentable form (privately for your approval or amendment) because right now it's a bit too vague. I like some of your ideas and am somewhat afraid of some of the others, but it could easily be because I don't fully understand them.

well, thx man.

english is not my native tongue.
that is true. so, sometimes it is not so easy to express the idea.
that is why i said need a translator before.

i still will try the best to explain the idea to you.

what you are saying is right, but,
you may have misunderstood something about the plan. we maybe talking different things.
because the main purpose of the plan is to guarantee our blockchain's value.
it is not to make tokens of our blockchain.

from my point, we now have computers, cell phones, actually no need to make tokens.
unless we are already a currency, then we need tokens to play in some place.
now we just need an electric wallet. our cryptoworld actually have good system already.

but, without value, we are nothing.
we need something people can trust you know. for example, copper or other metals.

maybe you can think about multipool, we are trying to do something similar.
but this time we will do physical.

with multipool, people mining a coin, but they sold for btc finally,
no matter how many hashing power we plugin,
no matter how many btc we spending on our coin, they will all go to btc,
and then sold for usd, because people now only trust usd.

so i would say our world need a fix.
after this fix, we can move on, we can go further, we can have a stable coin.

and, if you want help, sure, we need that. welcome!
put these things brief and make them clearly will help a lot.

I will have something for you to look over by monday, based off of my understanding. I'll PM it to you, you tell me what's wrong with it, and I'll fix it. You can use it how you will. I'm invested in this coin, so I'm not after bounties or anything like that, I just want to boost it's value.

Some thought on securing the blockchain.

One. It's a pure POS coin, so 51% is just about not an issue.

Two, anything, even cosmetic, that raises it's exchange value will attract more investors. But as you noted they are likely to trade it for BTC almost immediately.  Like all cryptocurrencies, real world adoption is the holy grail, and most don't even realize it.

So I think you're on to something. We just need to flesh it out and see where it goes and what can be done.

No ongoing pledge from me, as my stash is pretty small. But I'll put a 100 HYP to it as soon as I have that much in stake.
That's the idea. Only give to bounty your stake, not your principal.

Until the hard fork I will continue to add improvements to the wallet.  I will probably be adding stakeforcharity from HBN and unlockformint in the next day.
What is unlockformint? Regarding stakeforcharity, I propose stake goes to a second bounty address devoted to this (and now multiwallet would come in handy).

I updated the list of donators: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=678849.msg7701263#msg7701263

I started populating the wiki https://github.com/presstab/HyperStake/wiki/Hyperstake-wiki. Please join and make it bigger!

I can answer that. Unlock for mint is a button that some coin control enabled wallets have that allows you to enter your walletpassphrase and have the wallet still encrypted but unlocked ONLY for staking. It replaces the console or rpc command sequence "walletpassphrase <password><timeinseconds> <mint>"  It's very convenient.

I truly admire your commitment and the level of work put into this project but I cant understand how it will work.  

From what I can understand, you would need someone to see value in your coins.  So how do you create value linked to the shacoin blockchain, or over existing physical currency.

This is left field, but why not print a public key on the coins and destroy the private key.  This way the value of the coin is held in the shacoin blockchain, but can only be transferred to another party by exchange of the physical coin.

Or, i guess another option is you provide a service where you hold the private key in cold storage and produce a physical coin with the associated public key.  They someone, if the choose, could have the private key in exchange for the physical coin, at which point the physical coin is destroyed and made into a new coin with a new public address.
I FULLY endorse what I bolded and colored! That is a vastly awesome idea!

thx. good thinking.

it seems we are entering a place of difficult to explain.

I guess you are still in how to guarantee the physical coins value,
but the question should be how to guarantee the blockchain?
by this point, maybe you can find the way out.

lets talk about this more:

"print a public key on the coins and destroy the private key.  This way the value of the coin is held in the shacoin blockchain, but can only be transferred to another party by exchange of the physical coin."

yes, it was a good idea. and BTC lovers did this before. but it is not good after these days.

because building such a coin will cost more than 10 usd each, or more than 50 usd each.
and the metal of it still worth less than 1 usd each. it just like a paper wallet without private key.
we cannot use them in social life. it just too expensive and will need guarantee by blockchain.
without a good blockchain like BTC, it worth almost nothing.

or if you build them by gold, worth more for sure, but it still too expensive and cannot use them in social life.
if you cannot use them in social life, then why not just buy gold?

by this way, our blockchain still worthless.
blockchain, almost worth nothing these days because we can create altcoins as many as we want with almost nothing.

what we need is something guarantee our blockchain. not our blockcain guarantee something.

for example: we need more power or more money guarantee it.

guarantee:

1. using electricity? failed because free electricity.
2. using gold or silver? failed because too expensive.

so we decide using copper or other metals to guarantee our blockchain.
by this way, we can guarantee our blockchain's value. and blockchain can transfer our money worldwide faster.

Well, I can think of a few rebuttals, but I'm going to try to be constructive instead. To start with, if you're going to make pure copper coins with the name SHA on them, I'm totally good with that. Copper has been the poor man's coin for centuries, and works well as a store of value. And the SHA design does have some advertising merit. But it remains a separate coin.

On the idea of coins with the public key on it, and the private key destroyed, I like this because it eliminates the NEED for it to be metal, or even actually a coin. It opens up many possibilities for you to put out this "solid" cryptocurrency. Like for instance, a laminated card with a specific denomination on it, along with a QR code for a payment processor.

Why? Because the value of that card will never change, but the link to a payment processor makes it possible to MAKE CHANGE at the cash register via a normal interaction with the blockchain. So the user of the solid currency hands it over, just like he might a $20 bill, and gets change from the live coins in the account of the merchant. The merchant does not have to wait for confirmation, because the private coin/card/token has a set value that is forever attached to that one key. So to him, it's a totally solid deal.

But reverting to my first point, if the coins have the public key and the private has been destroyed, then they don't even have to be metal. They are a token, but a token that can't be altered in value. They could be made of a dense plastic, which would be cheap and easy to build, or they could be steel, which is ridiculously durable and very cheap to produce. And etcetera.

I think your idea would also work, in conjuntion with the above. I think it needs a lot more detail though.

I'm going to risk insult here, but I think I'm right. English is not your native tongue, correct? Perhaps you could put together a bulleted list with all the features you have in mind, either here or in PM, and I could write it out in a more presentable form (privately for your approval or amendment) because right now it's a bit too vague.

So to maximize the amount we get paid on a SYNC profit sale we need to hold all our coins under one registered address is that correct?

Is the only way to get all the various chunks of coins into a single address by sending everything to an exchange and back again?  Or is there a way to doit directly in the wallet?

You have a slight misunderstanding. It's not that it's in one address, it's that it is in one BLOCK. There could be a million blocks in one address Cheesy

It's actually quite easy to do, this doesn't even require the coin control features if you are putting all of your coins in one block. Generate a new receiving address, and send the balance of our coins to that address.

However, this doesn't really address staking, which is where coin control is very helpful. When the block stakes, it will combine the minted coins and the old coins into two roughly equal blocks. If you just leave it like that, it's no big thing, but if you want to again put it all in one block  or split it different ways, (I prefer to have blocks coming mature over a spread of time, for instance) then the coin control features give you a great deal of , well, control over which coins are spent and how they are organized.

Hope that helps!

Prolly a stupid question, but how can i see the total amount from my wallet in the block explorer?

one way is to run the console command "getaccount" and take the string it gives you instead of just the receiving address. It'll show you everything associated with that set of keys. Another, far more tedious way is to put in every address you've ever used and calculate the total Tongue

I'm sure there are better answers, that's just the two I know.

Authors can contact the next coin-ga.me. Let them put their games on TECH above? Can play this game apart from the transaction Cool

coin-ga.me doesn't appear to exist at this time?

edn247 can we switch nodes and put them in the new wallets so we can try to block the old wallets from connecting?

Then at some point maybe we can add a check version into the wallet or at least an update notification when needed.

Also, what is needed to setup a node? I have some servers, just need to know what to do to configure.

I don't recall the exact procedure, but if you are setting up a node JUST to be a node, you're making a client or daemon without a wallet. If you look in the Bitcoin git docs, it tells you how to do that. It should be the same for any coin derived from Bitcoin. Might not be for NXT and it's offspring, but that don't apply here Cheesy I haven't the time to get the info right now, but that's where to look. Or just google "set up a bitcoin node", which among others brings up this little gem Cheesy

sarcasm aside, I'm failing to see the utility of this myself, unless they ARE some form of a paper wallet.

Let me rephrase that. I can see LOCAL utility, but if the physical coin does not have a way to translate to the blockchain, then it isn't SHA, it's something else. And what makes cryptos unique amongst currencies is a combination of a few factors.

1. Instant transfers (not counting confirmation, of course) anywhere in the world without the need of third parties. (physical coins defeat this!)

2. No central issuance. The coin IS the blockchain! (physical coins defeat this!)

3. irreversibility of transactions. (this one is true of both forms)

The other factors of cryptocurrency are common to all forms of money, so I'll not belabor them here. But the first two items on my list are cause for a great deal of concern on my part. You need to be REALLY specific in what you're doing here, Frank. So far, I've had your back on the revival. I don't stand opposed now, but physical coins that, on reading it, don't appear to have any connection to the block chain is very concerning.

We need more public exposure and definitely more trading volume so relatively small purchases and sells do not push the price so far but only briefly.

Certainly a presence on more than one exchange and a presence as an altcoin as a form of payment would go a long long way.

We need public acceptance to get the coin more widely accepted by exchanges and payment processors BUT we need more exchanges and some payment processors to get the public confidence. 

The classic chicken/egg scenario.

I am on for the long haul, to the moon or to the basement.

This. Well stated, across the board.

I recommend against making a big push for mintpal, like so many coins try for. It's the burial ground of a lot of coins Tongue bittrex would be good, some of the smaller exchanges as well. And of course it never hurts to try for China Cheesy

But if it's ever going to be more than a way to gain interest on BTC, there needs to be payment processing OR, my favored option, a push to have it accepted outright as the coin of choice. Probably some combination of all of the above is best in the long run.

And hell with the basement. If we gotta ride this baby down, I'll take it all the way to   Pellucidar
